extproc is "external processing"--it's a (new) feature of pseudo-
terminals necessary to support linemode telnet (RFC 1184).

Next Software Releases 2.0 and 2.1 ship with the 4.3-reno
versions of telnet and telnetd.  These are BROKEN, telnetd
rather severely.  There have been two subsequent official
Berkeley releases.  I have ported the most recent versions to the
NeXT, and fixed all the bugs I know about.  telnetd is done, but
I'm still playing with the telnet side.  I should have something
ready for release Real Soon Now.  If you absolutely can't wait
until then, send me private e-mail.
